Apart from this, SEBI already enforced mandatory CSR for the 100 top listed Companies. Within next six months, with these unique instruments CSR would emerge as one of the most vibrant departments for the 13,000 companies of India. India alone requires over 50,000 MBAs in CSR and more than 1,50,000 Certified and Trained Professionals inthe coming years. This is literally unique compare to other opportunities of the business in India.

With this development, to tackle the situation, India doesn’t have any dedicated Institution to cater the huge demand of CSR and its Human Resources. For managing CSR, an individual has to be academically exposed and professionally trained. Also to be intellectually groomed in perspective of CSR. This is purely an emerging academic viz. professional area of the Management in India.
